Journal #1
I, Edgar Allen Poe, have moved in with my foster parents in 1811, because my mother has died of tuberculosis. I studied in Scotland and England from 1815 to 1820. I came back to attend the University of Virginia, but couldn't continue because i had some gambling problems, and my foster dad wouldn't let me continue. So I was forced to enlist in the military because of poverty. I enlisted as Edgar A. Perry, and attended West point.


Journal #2
Dear Diary, It is 1835 and I have just married Virgina. She is only 13 but the goverment believes she is of 21 years of age. We live happily, and our love for each other grows with each continuing day. She is such a wonderful women and should be treated with all my respect and heart.


Journal #3
I thought everything was going well, but my dear love came down with comsution, we fought long and hard, but I could see that she was slowly withering away. Those days have now come to an end and she is in another better place, than suffering here. I loved her dearly and will never forget all the love we shared with each other. For the next two years i was not in the happiest state. But i eventually found another person, who shared the same intersts with me.


Journal #4
I have found another wonderful lady. I have proposed my love to her in a cemetery cause I thought it would fell appropriate. As I was traveling up north to share the joy. I was kidnapped and dressed in these crazy clothes. The man's spastic rabbit bit me as they were redressing me. Which caused me to be in a delirious state of mind. I have now died of rabies.
